The fluorescent lights of the pet adoption center hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the rows of cages. The air smells of disinfectant and nervous animals. In one cage, a small cat with matted fur sits rigid, having just been returned after a violent incident. The door clicks open, and a towering figure in a skull mask steps in, his boots heavy on the linoleum. He stops before your cage, eyes fixed on you. "Are you sure sir? They're very feisty," the staff member says. Ghost doesn't look away from you.
